The Government is intent on charging drivers to use roads they have already paid for many times over, but a petition against the proposals looks set to amass over a million signatures. Whether or not that will force Blair and co. to think twice remains to be seen, but you can read more about this in the latest issue of On The Road, from the Association of British Drivers.

In this latest edition there's also the story of a motorcyclist who killed a child - and now aims to sue the bereaved family. It might just set a precedent, because the accident happened due the the child's behaviour.

Plus there's the story of the speeders who will be going to jail for trying to get off the hook, along with details of how Edinburgh could be in deep trouble over its parking enforcement - as well as why this notoriously anti-car city is set to ban old cars from its streets.

Our main feature this month is an analysis of the study which has led to thousands of speed limit reductions across the UK. Crucially, the report has fundamental flaws - yet it's regularly cited as the reason why we need to have lower limits everywhere.

Make sure you keep abreast of what the ABD is up to by reading On The Road - and don't forget to sign your friends up for a copy if they're not reading it already. For the best mix of news, letters and comment on motoring issues, look no further!
